“Meet the Hands Behind the Art”
Ana, our pom pom queen from the highlands of Guatemala, who can spin yarn into colorful magic faster than her grandkids can scroll TikTok. Surrounded by chickens, laughter, and a bit of juicy neighborhood gossip, Ana turns every pom pom into a burst of joy—each one tied with tradition, color, and a little sass. So when you see that fluffy little pop of color on your bag or keychain, know it was handmade with love (and probably while catching up on a good telenovela).
Behind the Scenes

And that's not all! You will also find fabulous Latin American folk art. There is everything from carved wooden Santos and textiles from Guatemala, mantas and masks from Bolivia, ceramic art from Mexico, retablos from Peru, painted furniture from Ecuador, and authentic Day of the Dead decor from throughout the region.
